You cannot control how a DATE field behaves, other than by locking/unlocking it. You could, however, change the DATE field to a CREATEDATE field. That way, if you're using a template, the date would be the date the document created from it is saved on. The date inserted via a CREATEDATE field will only update if you re-save the document via Save As.
